Spied some sand bags on sale on a site (forget which - I wasn't looking for them).
Got me to thinking about pics I saw the other day of troops over seas - they had sandbags around various areas, I assume as barriers for protection.
Got me thinking about what I would do if I had to defend my house against attack. Sandbags came to mind. I don't want to modify my current house, which is just wood framed. But sandbags piled up against the walls, outside to start with, inside strategically (places where I would return fire), might be a good idea. Unfortunately I don't have any real amount of sand here and most of the soil would just be too hard to fill the bags - I would need to get a truckload of sand delivered.
Found a much better price on sandbags than most places sell them. I am thinking a person would want a LOT of bags, at least in the hundreds, in order to provide a barrier around a house.
If I am ever able to build a house/shop, it will be ICF, earth bermed, with rebar, and the front would have a stone facade.
